About our bathroom resealing in Tankerton
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include leaking joints on a shower screen and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Homes around Tankerton range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Tankerton: your questions answered
Is Tankerton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Tankerton?
Yes, Tankerton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Tankerton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Tankerton?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Bathroom resealing in Tankerton: local notes
Tankerton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Whitstable station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like St Mary's Catholic Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

What else we do in Tankerton
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Tankerton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
